8 gigs video memory with 1 card

I'm so cool now.

Nice card, I put two of these in my computer. It was overkill... I'm thinking about removing one.

What PC Games do you play?

Hardly any really. But bf3 when i do.

Unless you're running like 6 screens it's overkill yeah.

I only have two screens. I told my brother if he drives here and adds a new hard drive for me he can have one of the cards. guess the 400 mile drive isn't worth it.

I got them in hopes video would encode faster, But it doesn't.

Nice, I rock 4GB on two slots right now, but my machine maxes out at 32GB so I'm probably gonna buy the $150 upgrade with Crucial.com soon. May as well max it out.

It will do it faster if you can link them.

isn't that "only" 4gigs and the other 4gigs are just shared from the regular system RAMs?

Correct.

It just looks cool :)

The 4gb on the card itself is already more than enough.

You are talking about ram, not video card memory?

I have 16 gigs ram. Can buy another 16 but no way i will need it anytime soon.

I read that some videocards can help a lot when it comes to encoding. Now clue how and which ones though.

Ah yeah, I was talking RAM. I misinterpreted your image. Been a while since I seen Windows. :Oh crap

Yap but only into some formats (mp4) or something like that.. if i'm correct

They are linked together.


My guess is that it's the software I use for editing the vids. When rendering It barley uses any system usage.

what is some up limit in future? how much will be good for decade?

If i understand your question right...
Atm 1 gig video memory is plenty unless you want to play BF3 on 3 screens.
16 gig ram is more than enough unless you run a professional sound studio and use 50 huge ass plugins.
I doubt that anything in the next 1 to 3 years will need more juice. For the average user.

But ofcourse in the (near future) things will change.

10 years from now we joke about back in the day when we only needed 4 gigs of ram to play a game.

5-10 years from now a computer will have 256 gigs ram by default. A video card 64.

Hard drives will easily be 100 TB or more.

Not video memory related but since we're posting system shit, I'm now rocking 8gb ram on my Windows 7 32 bit laptop.

have you tried this

I'm gonna have to dissapoint you.
I didn't know this either a while ago when i was running Windows 32 bit.
Windows 32 bit can not use more than 4 gigs.

Using more than 4 now, kernel hack.

Oh ok, i have no clue what that means but i believe you :)

It means I'm bad ass :thumbsup

I bought a 200 euros AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core this week. I know it got shit reviews but damn, it's fast.
I use it for my sound studio computer because the software i use (Sonar) takes full advantage of 8 cores.

When i compare it to my work computer which sports a 500 euro i7-3930K i don't notice any difference. I'm sure when it comes to encoding and stuff the intel chip will be way fast but for daily use it's just as fast.

:thumbsup

Go read an article on video cards, how they work, and how their memory does not matter so much. The real world is way more complex.

You need to read more about video cards. Video cards are becoming more powerful then a computer itself.

Just try to read what you said... :1orglaugh
